Goresbridge sales (alternative title - meet my new horse!)

[druid]

So.... 2 days at the sales, nearly 600 lots and soem chill blains later; Meet "Monty". 16hh, 6yo, TB gelding. Raced once in a point to point this spring and was pulled up. Has hunted (verified!) & hunter trialled. Just to add, normally I don't ride horses who have just arrived for 3-4 days but it's the only way we can introduce new horses to Sparks without her kicking them something rotten. Some very bad pics (Including me out in the yard in my pyjamas!)

Who are you?!

Uh, mum I think that one next door is going to eat me

 

[carthorse]

Love him ,have a lovely life with him

 

[JoBo]

He looks really sweet, and very chilled for an ex racer.

Is he a keeper or a project?

 

[sara_l]

He's a handsome lad, what are your plans for him?

 

[Thistle]

I like him!

 

[mrgoop]

He looks like a lovely boy
Good luck with him

 

[Jemayni]

Oh he's just lovely!

 

[Harihorse]

He looks gorgeous......Im really jealous.
Good Luck with him. What a handsome boy.

 

[Donkeymad]

What a lovely boy!

 

[Bossanova]

He's lovely!!!

Doesnt quite fit the original criteria though

 

[Hornby]

He looks a nice sort...not like a TB and I mean that as a complement! Hope Sparks decides to be nice to him!

 

[AgentM]

Awww, he's lovely. hope all goes well! x

 

[druid]

Thanks - he's neither currently...we'll see how he goes and then decide. He has smart paces & if he hunts as well as I'm told he'll probably stay!

 

[Daisychain]

He's cracking, hope he goes well for you, how is he bred?

 

[druid]

He's close enough....well ok, so he's the wrong size and breed....I got the sex right.

(Forgetting the fact I bought a mare 12 lots before him who was spun on the vet!)

Plans for him? Hunting, hacking and perhaps a little unaff. Dressage.

He's by Hubbly Bubbly out of Boolabawn Miss. He'll come up on Allbreedpedigree.com if you look

 

[druid]

Hornby - thanks, tbh...I didn't have him pegged as TB until I saw his passport!

 

[Llwyncwn]

Congratulations - he's my sort of horse and very nicely put together. Hope you both have fun x

 

[B_2_B]

he's gorgeous!

 

[PrincessDana]

Handsome boy

Congratulations and good luck with him.
